LSU once again landed in the top tier of U.S. News & World Report’s popular America’s Best Colleges 2010 list, on stands today. The University broke into the coveted top tier for the first time last year, and is now in a six-way tie for the No. 128 spot. Harvard University and Princeton University are tied for the No. 1 spot. U.S. News & World Report releases the “Best Colleges” list every year, ranking universities based on admissions standards, facilities, peer surveys and other criteria. Last fall, Chancellor Michael Martin hailed the University’s Flagship Agenda — a campaign to make LSU more nationally prominent — as reason for the jump into the top tier.——Contact Kyle Bove at [email protected]
